A Ride through Kerala Pt. 2

In an earlier post: Pt. 1 on a photo journey through Kerala, we discovered the beautiful terrains and huge waterfalls. Today, I pick up from where I left: The Kerala Backwaters.

We had rented a Chikara (a small boat) with a double bed and some wooden chairs at Alapuzha for 4 hours. Get some popcorn and a deck of cards, it will be fun enjoying the slow and eye appeasing journey though the exquisite and always-talked-about Kerala backwaters with some hands of a card game.

They say every tree needs it’s share of sunlight despite being super tall. Hence, the bend.

And that’s how you would cross the backwaters on your vehicle: with a zillion coconut trees watching you.

Wow. That sounds like a lot of fun. I love love love the toddy shop food and yeah, the toddy pitchers too. BTW did you notice the sign which every toddy shop puts up. It says, “No Singing”. After some toddy, people apparently start singing their hearts out, hence the regulation,

loved the narration along with pictures…had been on a houseboat at allepy…had tasty mallu lunch ..watched beauty around the calm backwaters…life along the banks of the backwater…church, schools, toddy shops, massage parlours and aalso had nariyal paani…by the end of the 3 hours, had a nice opportunity to click sunset pics…
